1. Introduction
Opti Drive Control is a test an$ enchmar" utility 'or optical $rives. #t can e use$ to
veri'y the per'ormance5 -uality an$ reliaility o' the urn an$ rea$ 'unctions o' optical
$rives an$ $iscs.
3
2. Usage
%sing Opti Drive Control is easy. 6'ter starting Opti Drive Control the main screen sho7s
up 7here you can select the $rive5 change the rea$ spee$ an$ run a test 'rom the le't
menu.
8e1t to the spee$ selector on top o' the screen 'our uttons are availale9 the re'resh
utton to re'resh :re3$etect; the rea$ spee$ settings5 the erase utton to erase or 'ormat
re7ritale $iscs5 the options utton an$ the save screenshot utton.
6 $isc can e loa$e$ or e<ecte$ automatically y pressing the loa$0e<ect utton on the
right si$e o' the $rive selector.
On the top le't corner asic $isc in'ormation is sho7n. .elo7 that is a 'iel$ 7here you can
enter a lael or you can let the program rea$ the lael 'rom the $isc y pressing the $isc
icon ne1t to the lael 'iel$ or y enaling the =rea$ $isc lael automatically= option.
.elo7 this 'iel$ are the 'unction uttons.
#n the ottom le't corner the status 7in$o7 utton can e presse$ to sho7 a log o' the
e1ecute$ 'unctions.
)he status ar sho7s the active status o' the program5 the current test progress an$
elapse$ time.

3. User interface options
)o change the appearance o' the program a theme can e chosen in Options > %ser
inter'ace. ?raph colors can e chosen separately.
@ea$ $isc lael automatically9 y chec"ing this option5 the $isc lael 7ill e rea$ an$
sho7n each time a ne7 $isc is inserte$ or 7hen the program starts.
!naling this option 7ill cause a small $elay 7hen starting the program an$ may cause
long $elays 7hen a $amage$ $isc is inserte$.
)he $isc lael can e rea$ manually y pressing the $isc utton ne1t to the lael 'iel$.
)he lael can also e entere$ manually.

4. !ransfer rate
)he trans'er rate test measures 'our $i''erent parameters9 rea$ spee$5 access times5 urst
rate an$ CA% usage.
/or this test an au$io :CD; or $ata $isc :CD5 DVD or .D; is re-uire$.
)o run the test enale or $isale the speci'ic test parameters an$ press the start utton.
)he test can e cancele$ at any time y pressing the stop utton.
.y pressing the start full utton the trans'er rate test is per'orme$ on the entire sur'ace5 y
pressing the start part utton a 7in$o7 appears 7hich allo7s you to choose the test range.
)he start an$ en$ positions can e speci'ie$ in minutes :CDs;5 2egayte :2.5 'or DVD an$
.D;5 an$ sectors :oth $ecimal an$ he1a$ecimal;.
"ead speed
)he contents o' the $isc is rea$ an$ the rea$ spee$ is sho7n oth graphically an$
numerically. )his allo7s you to see ho7 7ell the $rive per'orms an$ i' it meets the
manu'acturer=s speci'ications.
)his 'unction can also e use$ to $etermine the -uality o' the $isc. #$eally the graph
shoul$ sho7 a smooth line.
#' the rea$ spee$ line sho7s $o7n7ar$ spi"es it means the $rive has troule rea$ing the
$isc. )he re$ areas sho7 the locations 7here an uncorrectale rea$ error occurre$.
#ccess times
)he access time is the time it ta"es the $rive to locate an$ rea$ a single sector on the $isc
an$ is measure$ in millisecon$s. Bo7 access times are an in$ication o' goo$ per'ormance
'or rea$ing smaller 'iles.
)he access times are measure$ at 100 locations on the $isc sur'ace 7ith three $i''erent
access patterns9
ran$om9 measure$ at ran$om positions across the $isc sur'ace
103 stro"e 9measure$ 'rom the 'irst sector to the sector at 103 o' the capacity
'ull stro"e9 measure$ 'rom the 'irst sector to the last sector on the $isc
$urst rate
)he urst rate is the highest possile spee$ at 7hich $ata can e trans'erre$ to the $rive.
)his spee$ shoul$ e higher than the ma1imum rate$ spee$ o' the $rive. /or e1ample5 the
urst rate o' a 1( C DVD shoul$ e higher than 21 2.0s :1( C D 21 2.0s;. 6 lo7 urst rate
7
can e cause$ y limitations o' the $rive inter'ace :%4. 'or e1ample; or y an incorrect
D26 setting.
C%U usage
)he CA% usage is measure$ $uring the rea$ test. )his value shoul$ stay elo7 10E.
6 higher value usually means the $rive is not using D26 to trans'er $ata.

Lou can also choose to measure an$ sho7 the $rive=s u''er level an$ CA% usage $uring
the test. Alease note that this may cause a small per'ormance loss on certain systems.
Warning! The performance may be reduced a lot when using a Pioneer drive to create a disc.
Therefore it's recommended to lower the buffer update frequency (available in write options)
or to disable buffer level measurement if you're using a Pioneer drive.
